The Partner Portal allows you to customize your restaurant's operating hours in three ways:
- Regular Hours: These are the usual hours where your restaurant is open to accept orders.
- Holiday Hours: You can temporarily modify hours or close your restaurant for specific days, such as public holidays or renovations, without editing the Regular Hours section.
- Busy Hours: During peak periods, this provides the option to increase the time it takes to prepare orders, helping to manage customer expectations and reduce wait times.
You can update your operating hours at any time - changes will apply immediately for your Ritual customers.
